Introduction Modernizing applications by upgrading language runtimes, migrating SDKs, and refactoring frameworks is important for cloud adoption but can be labor-intensive at scale. Each repository requires analysis of dependencies and transformation needs; custom transformation logic must be built and validated, and changes are often executed sequentially across codebases. If you have hundreds of applications, this […]

Introduction As modern applications evolve into complex ecosystems of serverless functions, microservices, and event-driven architectures, incident response becomes increasingly challenging. DevOps and SRE teams spend hours manually correlating data across observability tools and troubleshooting issues, racing against SLA deadlines. This reactive firefighting drains productivity, degrades reliability, and delays innovation. AWS DevOps Agent provides an opportunity […]

Enterprise modernization has reached an inflection point. You can transform one repository easily. Existing tools, including AWS Transform custom, work well for individual repositories, and the process is understood. But what about 50 repositories? 100? 200? When you need to modernize at enterprise scale, transforming code is only part of the challenge. Coordinating people, capturing […]

This post was co-written with Ross Belmont, Senior Director, Rodrigo Duran, Strategist Director at Salesforce Every minute counts when managing a critical infrastructure incident. Organizations need to quickly identify issues, diagnose root causes, and implement solutions—all while keeping customers informed. AWS DevOps Agent changes this by automating investigation and response, reducing mean time to resolution […]

Standardizing CDK construct properties across a large organization requires repetitive manual effort that scales poorly as teams and repositories grow. Development teams working with AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) must apply the same configuration properties across similar resources to meet security, compliance, and operational standards but manual configuration leads to drift, maintenance burden, and […]

Introduction Organizations carry a growing burden of technical debt — aging codebases, outdated runtimes, and legacy frameworks that slow innovation, increase security risk, and inflate maintenance costs. Addressing this debt requires tackling a wide range of code transformation challenges: version upgrades, runtime migrations, framework transitions, and language translations, all of which must be repeated across […]

At re:Invent 2025, Matt Garman announced AWS DevOps Agent, a frontier agent that resolves and proactively prevents incidents, continuously improving reliability and performance. As a member of the DevOps Agent team, we’ve focused heavily on making sure that the “incident response” capability of the DevOps Agent generates useful findings and observations. In particular, we’ve been […]

The AWS SDK for Java v2 represents a fundamental shift in how Java applications interact with AWS services, addressing critical security requirements while delivering measurable performance improvements. For organizations still operating on v1, this transition extends beyond a routine version upgrade—it’s a strategic imperative for maintaining secure, efficient cloud operations. With v1 reaching end-of-support on December 31, 2025, […]

This post was contributed by Adi Ziv, Senior Platform Engineer at Kaltura, with collaboration from AWS. Kaltura, a leading AI video expirience cloud and corporate communications technology provider, transformed CI/CD infrastructure by migrating to AWS CodeBuild-hosted runners for GitHub Actions. This migration reduced DevOps operational overhead by 90%, accelerated build queue times by 66%, and […]

If you’ve developed AWS CloudFormation templates, you know the drill; write YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language) in your IDE (Integrated Development Environment), switch to the AWS Management Console to validate, jump to documentation to verify property names. Then run CFN Lint (CloudFormation Linter) in your terminal, deploy and wait, then troubleshoot failures back in the […]
